Web map published by the U.S. EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) that shows currently operational landfill gas energy projects and landfills listed in the LMOP Database having latitude and longitude coordinates. Data for operational projects are provided in 4 layers by Project Type Category (electricity, direct use, RNG pipeline injection, and RNG local use). Data from the LMOP Database are available at https://www.epa.gov/lmop/lmop-landfill-and-project-database.

The LMOP Landfill and Landfill Gas Energy Database (LMOP Database) is a data repository for more than 2,600 MSW landfills that are either accepting MSW or closed in the past few decades. This represents a majority of MSW landfills, but the LMOP Database does not include data for every MSW landfill in the United States, nor data for industrial landfills or hazardous waste landfills. The LMOP Database also contains information about landfill gas (LFG) energy projects in various stages, such as planned, under-construction, operational and shutdown. As of September 2024, 488 MSW landfills provide LFG to one or more LFG energy projects currently in operation, for a total of 542 projects. EPA estimates that 444 additional "candidate" landfills could cost-effectively have their methane turned into an energy resource. Explore these projects and landfills on the LMOP National Map."
